You laugh, but if you're buying used, this 100% makes Intel the way to go over a Ryzen 1000/2000/3000 CPU.
as long as we're buying 12th gen, we're ok.

anyone know how intel's microcode update policy is in comparison to AMD's?
Attackers need to access the system kernel to exploit the Sinkclose vulnerability, so the system would have to already be compromised. The hack itself is a sophisticated vector that is usually only used by state-sponsored hackers, so most casual users should take that into account.
So it's a vulnerability that requires you to.already have been compromised. Hardly seems like news.
I can understand AMD only patching server chips that by definition will be under greater threat. On the other hand it's probably not worth the bad publicity not to fix more.

*Cries in 5 2600 and 1070*
you and me both my friend, you and me both... except for the fact that im still vibing with them. EVGA 1070, i don't want to give it up F
My EVGA GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Black Edition is also holding up strong, especially with AMD FSR or good games (like Metro), but 4k is really bad for the poor little guy :c
But even with my new PC, he will continue to live in my server :3
yeah, i'm gaming on 1080 and mostly playing minecraft and factorio though, so im not exactly gunning for FPS there. I will keep this card until it dies dead properly, and then it will become wall art.
I feel like this is the perfect place for Right to Repair legislation: the product is broken? And it's outside your support window? Then give customers what they need to make the fix themselves. It's not good enough to say "meh, guess you gotta buy one of our newer chips then 🤷"
Especially since the Linux community are the types to go way overkill

Welp, glad I avoided that
Shit, I have desktops running with 2200G and 2400G.
so that means you can internally flash the bios chip from the os?
would be cool if there were coreboot builds for these platforms, this exploit seems pretty useful

The enterprise models are getting patched but the consumer ones aren’t. Shame on them.
I like my eBay "business" class machines
Any news on the "pro" line? They were installed on business PCs and had additional security features built in. For instance there is a 3600 pro model.
